Accelerating College Readiness
Many students arrive at college lacking the basic skills necessary to further their education. Deficiencies in writing and math are common. Often students stagnate in developmental learning courses, which leads to a downward spiral in motivation and an inefficient use of financial aid dollars.
With a focus on accelerating the acquisition of basic skills, Pearson partners with institutions to move students successfully through a personalized program focused on the areas each student needs to improve. Moving students more quickly through developmental learning means a faster path to credit-bearing courses and more effective use of financial aid dollars.
Our expert consultants will work with you to find the right integrated solution to fit your institution's needs – bringing together content, technology and services to support college readiness, student success and retention.
Solutions for Accelerating College Readiness:
MyFoundationsLab:
MyFoundationsLab is a complete online mastery-based resource for assessing and remediating college- and career-readiness skills in reading, writing and mathematics. This highly effective, developmental learning tool boosts college readiness, providing a resource to equip students with the skills they need to take and succeed in college-level courses. Instructors use MyFoundationsLab to assess students' competencies on the objectives most relevant to their programs. Robust reporting tools allow program coordinators to easily monitor and track performance as students progress on their personalized path through material.
Online Tutoring:
We've partnered with Smarthinking to provide personalized online tutoring anytime and anywhere. As a result, institutions can offer all of their students – regardless of academic level or geographic location – the continuous support they need to achieve their academic goals. In fact, independent research shows that with Smarthinking's online tutoring services, students get higher grades, pass their classes, and stay enrolled. Developmental learning students need extra support to achieve college readiness and 24/7 online tutoring is an extremely valuable resource.
Course Redesign:
Course redesign is the process of redesigning an entire course or program to achieve better learning outcomes and lower costs by taking advantage of the capabilities of technology. This process is about rethinking the way we deliver instruction, especially in large-enrollment core courses, in light of the possibilities that new technology offers. This may include moving from a face to face model to a blended or online model or a shift from a traditional classroom to an emporium model. Developmental learning programs provide great opportunities for course redesign. Pearson's Custom Curriculum group works with educators to redesign courses and programs or to build new ones from the ground up. Our group develops content for face to face, blended and online modalities. Pearson's MyLabs are an ideal learning solution for redesign – bringing in proven, engaging education technology to provide students with a personalized, supportive experience.
Pearson provides unique solution combinations to support institutions as they meet the challenge of college readiness.
